An Embezzsinx Collector.

J. S. Chadwick, a sewing machine
agent, yesterday swore out complaint
against John B. Stever alias John Ber-
nard. formerly in his employ as clerk
and collector, charging him with having
embezzled $50, collected from A. b.
Armstrong, on the Oath of December.
Bernard is already wanted for having
embezzled similar sum, to the preju-
dice of Mr.. Chadwick, at the same date.
The latter sum he had collected from f..
Fitch. After having got away with
quite large amount of money belonging
to his employer, the unfaithful collector,
in the last days of December, skipped

tween Liberals ana Raaic
LONDON, January 22-Joseph Chan
berlain's speech at Ha-rick to-day e.
pressed the telief that from what had
passed at the conference of Radicals
and Liberals complete agreement with
the Liberal leaders might be obtained.
He asked the Liberals to await with
hope and confidence the result of the
further deliberations of the conferences.
Ireland, he said, has too long been the
ground of paid agitators. The land
question ought to be dealt with finally
by making cultivators ewnsrs.
and enlarging the small holdings
of tenants. They would never
be satisfied while they had a hope OF
getting land for nothing, which bope
formed the basis of the plan of the CAM
paign. This plan the speaker said was
the most immoral and most dishonest
conspiracy ever devised in q civilized
country. Chamberlain said he was
hopeful the question of autonomy would
be settled upon the principle providing
legislative authority for the Irish to
manage their domestic affairs with tho
provision of reserving their rights and
maintaining the integrity of the empire.

Defalcation Of the Hooking Val.
ley Company.

New YORK, January 22.-Stories in
regard to the alleged defalcation of
Hooking Valley Securities were in cir
culation again to-day but seem to have
little foundation. The facts, as far as
can be learned, are as follows: The
company had $2.OOO,O0O joint bonds of
the Columbus. Hooking Valley and To.
ledo and the Columbus Coal and Iron
Company. During the long strike the
road ran in debt over one million dollars
which the directors advanced, they Dor.
rowing money on their individual re-
sponsibility, and accepting the COM
pany's notes as security. The joint
bonds held on the treasury were unsala-
BILE and the directors could do nothing
with them, and they we're issued to Sc.
cure the notes. and the directors received
them and returned the notes, which
were then cancelled.
